A nearly identical Louis XVI giltwood console table doubtlessly executed in the same workshop as this pair of tables was in the Salon Bleu or the Salon Chinois of the Tsarsköe Selo Palace in St. Petersburg (G.K. Loukomski, Mobilier & Décoration des Anciens Palais Impériaux Russes, Paris, 1928, plate XXXVI).
